On the strength of this gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards about the
last of May-my wife S;sw an advertise

She told me of It. | said: STUFF and
nonsense, il can't do me any good
But she went to druggists, neverthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on it, &c.
He said he didn't keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
